Security Engineer

About the role

ABOUT US

Legora is redefining how legal work gets done. Not built for lawyers, built with them. We work alongside the world’s best legal teams, who expect excellence, precision, and speed, and we hold ourselves to the same bar.

Our AI-native workspace lets legal professionals move faster, think more clearly, and operate with sharper precision. By analysing thousands of documents in minutes and powering end-to-end workflows, we cut through complexity, teams can focus on what matters: judgment, strategy, and outcomes.

2,100+ customers across 80+ countries trust us, including Cleary Gottlieb, Goodwin, Linklaters, White & Case, Dentons, and Barclays. We’ve scaled to $200M+ in ARR, with teams across Europe, North America and APAC, and continue to expand through acquisitions including Qura, Walter AI, Graceview, Cadastral, and Wexler.

We partner with world-class performers: including Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees, Ludvig Åberg (and his caddie), and campaigns featuring Jude Law.

Joining Legora means three things.

- We lean in: ownership over titles, outcomes over intentions.

- We fight for excellence: high standards, direct, ego-free feedback.

- We grow together: as a team and with our customers.

Mission before ego. Everyone contributes. No one coasts.

If you’re driven by impact, pace, and raising the bar. This is the place.

The role:

At Legora, security is the foundation of the trust our customers place in us. The world’s leading law firms, as well as some of the biggest corporations use our platform for their most sensitive matters, and we need security to be built into how we design, ship, operate, and scale.

We are looking for exceptional Security Engineers who can build leverage across a large surface area: a multi-tenant AI platform, a multi-cloud estate with Azure as our primary cloud, and an engineering organisation that ships fast. This is a hands-on engineering role. You will own security work end to end, build tooling and guardrails, embed with engineering teams, and make the secure path the default path.

We hire T-shaped security engineers. You should bring real depth in one of Application Security, Detection Engineering & Response, or Cloud & Platform Security, while staying credible across the others. Tell us in your application which area is your specialisation.

This role can be based in Stockholm or New York. It is a 5-day in-office role, we believe building together in person drives better outcomes.

What you will be doing:

- Own security work end to end: architecture, tooling, roadmap, and outcomes.

- Work embedded with engineering teams to make secure design, development, and operations the default.

- Build and ship software: guardrails, detections, libraries, automation, and workflows that live in git, are reviewed, tested, and deployed through CI/CD.

- Raise the security bar across engineering through design reviews, threat modelling, tooling, and enablement.
